Canon A1: Sunset at the beach

I shot some more film and turned it into Costco for processing. There is one film Kodak pro something or other that I had the most awful time loading. I had shot the entire roll (I thought) at Fossil Falls but it never loaded. Okay, I though I might be able to salvage the film and learned via Google how to retrieve the film leader with the good old saliva method ( it does work too). Reloaded the film and thought I shot the roll no problem.

Well, Costco told me the film was blank so either I exposed the roll somewhere or it didn't load again. I had one roll that came out and from the photos, the sunset/beach photos looked really good. But the DVD wasn't included which I paid $3 for so I called and there was a mix up where another customer got my DVD and hers was still at Costco. Took another day for that person to return my DVD but now when I look at it, I'm not sure if it is worth the money.

I thought the DVD would be a better quality than my scanner but it doesn't seem to be the case. Lots of grain when the photo is enlarged on the computer so I think I will try to do an enlargement on one of the photos and see for myself. I do want  an enlargement for my home and display purposes.


Now to decide which one to enlarge...

At least Costco is reasonable for photo processing although I may have to look for other options once I get more serious about my photography.

So what photo shall I reprint?? I'm thinking 5 x 7 size.
